An email I received left me speechless. Obviously, they don't respect my creative choices. I will not 'fix' this panel under any circumstances.
@davidrevoy My personal recommendation (absolutely feel free to not care^^) would be to just delete/archive the mail and be done. I respect your choice and agree with you 100% and understand why you want to share it, but to me personally it feels strange to make that public. At least with an Screenshot of the mail and so on. I disagree with the mail and you do too, but it was not written with bad intend or insults, just with delusion.
I disagree only because if it is silently ignored they will assume it might be because you didn’t see it.
Saying no publicly lets them know you read their complaint and are explicitly disagreeing with their bigoted agenda.
@unixorn @davidrevoy I just noticed i was very unclear. I meant delete/archive after replying, but not doing it in a public way. I was sure i wrote that but obviously i did not.
I meant only the part about making it public

A quiet personal response implies a mere personal disagreement, as opposed to a desire to make sure that fascists and other would-be censors are shamed the world over.
@pteryx @unixorn @davidrevoy
His Email did not portray him as a fascism

He can not censor anything

What does a public roasting cause? Virtual clap on the shoulder from people who support you anyway (nothing changes) + more hate and anger from people who do not support you (negative).
imho he asked question politely enough, that i don't think this Twitter-like-style of public slaughter is necessary. Again, my personal opinion, nothing more.
@vamp898 @pteryx @unixorn Hey 白川間瀬流, the politeness of the message is an illusion.
It's full of manipulation tactics such as flattery and seduction ('masterpiece/wonderful/beautiful/magical') , a call to social norm (eg. "many conservative parents worlwide", "different cultures"), playing the victim (eg. "more accessible", also a 'mirroring' tactic using a vocabulary used by people caring about other humans).
Showing it publicly might prepare and help more vulnerable authors receiving this.
@davidrevoy @pteryx @unixorn I do not disagree with that. Either he is very clever or naive.
Either way, especially when he is actually clever, he archived what he wanted. spreading anger. I 100% understand your urge to call him out, but i fear that maybe is exactly what he wanted so he can say "I wrote a nice mail and got roasted, those people are bad, they prevent free speach".
How about using this Mail as inspiration for something good? Short Spin-off focusing on the relationship?^^
